What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a full-time role that blends art instruction, wellness coaching, and leadership in a supportive, community-focused organization where I can help clients grow and contribute creatively.

I am a creative professional combining experience as a NASM-certified personal trainer and fitness business owner with a strong background as a freelance artist and gallery manager. I have led gallery operations, taught private and group art classes, completed commissions and murals, and supported client wellness through strength training and life coaching.

I bring hands-on leadership as a landscape assistant/foreman, substitute teacher, and volunteer youth leader, with strengths in client relations, sales, framing, and adaptable problem-solving. I’m seeking a full-time role where I can merge my art, teaching, and wellness skills to foster growth and meaningful community connections.
